I posted this on another thread, but thought it was worth sharing here as well.

Heads up this is about to get worse. Republicans recently voted to cut retirement funding for air traffic controllers. By cutting the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) for workers retiring before 62 (all Air Traffic Controllers are required to retire at 56 and are eligible to retire at 50), this is completely fucking over ATCs who continue working by changing their retirement math.

An open secret with ATCs is that they have numerous medical qualifications that they have to maintain to keep working. For example, if they see a doctor about sleep apnea, depression, alcoholism, etc they lose their medical qualification and are forced to take a medical retirement.

So what happens if you’re an ATC in your 40s and the government says “hey you can keep working for the next 10 years and retire without this FERS supplement… Or you can tell your doctor that you snore at night and take an immediate medical retirement right now and get paid more in retirement”?

TLDR; We’re about to have a shit load of Air Traffic Controllers taking medical retirements and these staffing problems are going to explode.

Fuck all the cops who used to use my driveway to try and catch people speeding

Wtf that’s wild. I couldn’t imagine a cop setting up a speed trap in my driveway.

As of Thursday, the company’s self-driving tech has completed over 1,200 miles without a human in the truck.

That’s not an impressive number. That’s like 2 days’ worth of driving.

Yeah it seems pretty clear that someone was like “His marijuana leaf stands for M, so let’s label that. Then we’ll say this is a smiley, so label that S. Etc etc”

Then Trump saw it and (just like the COVID hospital cleaning protocols to use bleach and UV light) assumed he was the smartest person in the room - and just ran with it. Problem is he’s too dumb and egotistical to admit he made a mistake.

Throat GOAT Nancy Reagan was a hot blond bimbo?

ABC News reported that Trump’s second-inauguration haul is on track to shatter the previous $107m record, as pledged contributions have already exceeded a $150m fundraising goal. Barack Obama’s inauguration raised $53m in 2009 and $42m in 2013, and Joe Biden’s raised $63m in 2021.

I’d be 100% on board with the sentencing being The Undertaker throwing Trump off Hell In A Cell, and having him plummet 16 ft through an announcer’s table.

Yeah if you read the whole thing from the start to finish, it’s like the most disappointing ruined orgasm ever. 17 pages of telling Trump and his lawyers that they’re a bunch of fuckwits and their arguments are trash. Then “but none of that matters, I ain’t doing shit about it”.

Here’s a link to the judge’s 17 page ruling.

It’s basically a smackdown of all of Trump’s legal arguments against being found guilty and sentenced. Unfortunately it ends with the judge basically saying, despite all that, it’s not practical to throw this chucklefuck in jail. So we’ve got no choice but to let him go free.

Seriously what is up with the German love for sim games? I’ve tried the farming sim and truck driving sim and it just feels like having an extra job that I don’t get paid for.

Lol you weren’t joking. This dude is cracking himself up.https://youtu.be/3eNDNCe4rRw

I dunno. 1.75 oz of tuna on my waffle is far too much tuna on my waffle.

It’s all for show. You can tell because that’s the mayor of NYC right behind him.

I want to crowd fund a big bronze statue like this. Except Luigi is St. Michael and Thompson is Satan.

I’d pitch in for it.

See, it’s not for publicity! Eric Adams is there to stop the public from freeing Luigi from law enforcement!

Lmao at the guy repelling “hut hut hut hut”

Trump’s obsession with Hannibal is a thousand times funnier when you realize it’s because he doesn’t know the difference being political asylum and a mental asylum.

When asked, that’s probably what the police would say as justification. And it sounds almost plausible, until you realize that’s the mayor behind him.
